title: Anticoagulants in Takayasu's arteritis associated with crescentic glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome: a case report.
abstract: The authors describe a 46-year-old Japanese woman who had Takayasu's arteritis associated with nephrotic syndrome due to mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent. Although a few cases of focal and segmental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with Takayasu's arteritis have been reported, nephrotic syndrome has not been reported previously in this situation.
